Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet Rug, 19th Century

About the Item

Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet Rug, 19th Century This exceptionally elegant Serapi carpet from Northwest Persia draws a central medallion within a square-shaped field. A central ivory diamond shape is spaciously drawn at the center of the red quatrefoil medallion. Drawn with sinuous curvilinear flow and with larger scale vegetal ornament the aesthetic is almost kaleidoscopic as a deep indigo ground gives way to layers of ochre-red and ivory. The central medallion is echoed in the corner pieces perfectly balancing light and dark.

  • Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet, c. 1900
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet Rug, c. 1900 Serapi rugs and carpets were woven in the Heriz district of Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular today. The neutral ground color of the border is unusual and sets of the other colors in an interesting way. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...
